Kansas Beef Producers Serve On National Level

Many beef producers serving on the Kansas Beef Council (KBC) executive committee also volunteer their time on the national level by participating on Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) committees. As members of these committees, which were formed based on the strategies identified in the Beef Industry Long Range Plan, these producers represent either the Federation of State Beef Councils (FSBC) or CBB.

Stacy McClintock of Seneca recently was appointed to serve on the Evaluation Committee for FSBC. Jaret Moyer from Emporia was reappointed to serve on the Finance and Audit Committee, where he represents FSBC. Philip Weltmer of Smith Center is the co-chair of the Checkoff Nutrition and Health Committee and will serve on the 2025 CBB Nominating Committee. Alta Vista native Amy Langvardt also was appointed to the 2025 CBB Nominating Committee. Randall Debler from Alma holds the Kansas revenue seat for FSBC.

White rot, also known as sclerotinia, is a common agricultural fungal disease caused by various virulent species of Sclerotinia. It initially affects the root system (mycelium) before spreading to the aerial parts through the dissemination of spores.

Sclerotinia is undoubtedly a disease of major economic importance, and very damaging in the event of a heavy attack.

All these attacks come from the primary inoculum stored in the soil: sclerotia. These forms of resistance can survive in the soil for over 10 years, maintaining constant contamination of susceptible host crops, causing symptoms on the crop and replenishing the soil inoculum with new sclerotia.
